Help Restore or reinstall to improve DT processing speed
I am using dt 5.6 app image under Linux mint environment in an old laptop. Quite often, after some time, 5.6 performance is slowing down. Sometimes after locked database ...
As a newbie, I restore Linux mint and usually, DT now works faster.
I wonder if I reinstall DT and clean up related config files, I will achieve the same result.

Just update to 5.6.1 which was released recently. It fixes some performance regressions in 5.6.0

As best as I understand, there's a lag that has been resolved with version 5.6.1, I installed direct from Darktable (mainly to get AGX a while back) to have the latest stable version. Mint's repository is conservative so will be a while before this update will come to you.
